hours between August 4th and

Washington Township Lions Club
Corn Stand at the Indiana State Fair.
Former officer Veronica Bigham and
her father allowed us to seize this
opportunity to make some money
for our organization and give back
to the Indianapolis community by
lending some extra hands.

society while we were working together!" -Jaci Zook
